Abstract

Let ω be any linear symplectic form on the 4–torus T4. We show that in all cases (T4,ω) can be fully filled by one symplectic ball. If (T4,ω) is not symplectomorphic to a product T2(μ)×T2(μ) of equal sized factors, then it can also be fully filled by any finite collection of balls provided only that their total volume is less than that of (T4,ω).
